Can i pray with my smartphone in my pocket.

[Moshy]

I have a protective sheet on my smartphones screen, the guy who pasted the sheet cleaned the screen first with a liquid which contained alcohol ( amount of alcohol is unknown ). So my question is, can i pray with my smartphone in my pocket?

As a precaution wipe it with a screen cleaner, if not salaah will be accepted as alcohol is diluted and minimal

throw the screen protector away, (they are cheap anyway) and wipe the screen properly with a Non-Alcoholic wipe and your problem is solved.

Assalaamu alaikum,

Mmm, I am curious: Isn't the prohibition of alcohol about consuming it? (sigh) Though I think I can see that this might be an area of interpretation, and therefore controversy. (twinkle) Perhaps there is a thread somewhere here that discusses this?

Also there are different kinds of alcohols (in the chemical sense). We use such alcohols for disinfecting all sorts of things. I doubt that ethanol (the kind of alcohol that humans generally are attracted to consume) would be used to wipe a smartphone.

May Allah, the Compassionate, Help us to understand His Will.

Yes I'm aware of all of the above,

Best to avoid it, remove doubt, especially as there are non alcoholic alternatives,

Call me crazy or extreme, but I'd get a new phone.

Call me crazy or extreme, but I'd get a new phone.

And I would just take it away from my pocket while praying if that is the main problem.

Jazakallah for your answers
